Charms and Charming in Europe
Historical records of charms, the verbal element of vernacular magic, date back at least as far as the late middle ages, and charming has continued to be practiced until recently in most parts of Europe. And yet, the topic has received only scattered scholarly attention to date. By bringing together many of the leading authorities on charms and charming from Europe and North America, this book aims to rectify this neglect, and by presenting discussions covering a variety of periods and of locations - from Finland to France, and from Hungary to England - it forms an essential reader on the topic.
Conjuring Spirits: Texts and Traditions of Medieval Ritual Magic
Conjuring Spirits contains both general surveys and analyses of magical texts and manuscripts by distinguished scholars in a variety of disciplines. Included are chapters by Richard Kieckhefer and Robert Mathiesen on the Sworn Book of Honorius, Michael Camille on the images in Ars Notoria manuscripts, John B. Friedman on the Secretum Philosophorum, Claire Fanger and Nicholas Watson on the Liber Visionum, and Elizabeth Wade on Lullian divination. The work also includes Juris Lidaka's edition of the Liber de Angelis, and an overview of late medieval English ritual magic manuscripts by Frank Klaassen. Claire Fanger's introduction describes the context of late medieval magical texts, both 'angelic' and 'demonic', and offers insight into the place of magic in the medieval world. This book will be invaluable for scholars and other readers interested in ritual magic in the later Middle Ages.--Back cover.
